Every taxpayer should receive an £800 stake in RBS to kick-start growth and
rekindle the Thatcher-era fervour for share ownership, according to a Tory
MP.

Nadhim Zahawi is urging George Osborne to trigger a mass giveaway that would
act as a multibillion stimulus to the economy. It would also help to reverse
the fall in share ownership which has declined from 28 per cent in the
heyday of the Thatcher sell-offs to 10.2 per cent.

“Something that introduces an entire new generation to share ownership can
only be good thing,” said Mr Zahawi, MP for Stratford-upon-Avon.
